Who really cares?

Jesus is a lot like Elvis. I love the guy, but the fans can get pretty creepy.

The image of lightning striking Jayzus H Kerryst brought to mind those wonderful words written a long, long time ago:

...and the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made...

Ah, too bad those wonderful Brazilians didnt use the mountain top for a wind generator.

Who gets to determine what Jesus looked like considering that no one on earth has seen him?


I don't believe in graven images of Christ, I worship him in spirit and in truth.

Why would god strike his only begotten cement statue with lightning?

see the picture in the Daily Mail . . . oh well . . . well I guess that means JC has had his 2,000 years . . . time he went . . . .

Jesus, our favorite cement deity
Lives on a Brazilian hill in perpetuity.
Even though he's a god
He's got no lightning rod
Which may interrupt his continuity.

Iffy photo.

Lighting bolts only last for a fraction of a sec and are very hard to photograph in the day time when you have to use fast shutter speeds.

At night it is fairly easy to photograph, all you need is a tripod and cable release and just keep shooting 10-20 sec exposures to you get one.

Bangs head against wall.

It's the tallest frigging thing around. Just because it was caught on film, doesn't mean it wasn't struck before.

the further dumbing down of humanity.

Actually, religions are social organizations admission to which requires the purported belief in some set of absurd "beliefs" with no foundation in fact. They are, in this regard, a way of ensuring the propagation of genetic material for the replication of brains with inferior mental capacity. In other words, they are a way of providing plenty of canon fodder for the likes of Dick Cheney.

Just curious, why were a whole mess of comments removed? How come this happens frequently? Is someone at Huff Post opposed to free speech?

I wonder how Bush would interpret this?

hmmm..... 4,000 year-old Babylonian world creation myth that came to us via Jews and Christians.

OR

A model arrived at and refined by rigorous scientific method and supported by countless observations and elegant mathematics.

Difficult choice...hmmmm.

BS!

One more thing, what they are saying about it being all concrete? Again, not exactly true. Its part concrete, underneath, but the over lay base is bronze. Its made to withstand all temps and extreme conditions. I know, I am a nerd.
